An amazing experience!
We stayed in the moderate level accommodations and they were absolutely wonderful. They were clean, safe, and had wonderful views, luxurious amenities, friendly staff, and bountiful food. Our host Peter was amazing. During the booking process, communication with him was prompt and clear. As our guide on the tour, he was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, well-connected, and resourceful. He successfully coordinated a busy itinerary and ensured we had a great time. Be prepared for the possibility of a few long drives, if you plan to see a lot of the country; Uganda is large. Some of the roads can be bumpy, but they allow you to access so many hard-to-reach places. We saw so much of the country traveling between points. We saw all kinds of wildlife on our drives— every animal we had hoped to see. It was truly an amazing experience and a great snapshot of Uganda.

A simply fantastic experience from start to finish with Across The Wild Tours and Safaris!
My girlfriend and I took a twelve day private trip during late August / early September 2022 with Across the Wild Tours and Safaris visiting Kenya's Tsavo East, Tsavo West, Amboseli and the Masai Mara. We rate Across the Wild ten out of ten and would certainly use them again and highly recommend them to anyone else who is interested in taking a similar trip!
From the start communications were fast and efficient which made the entire booking process simple. It also made submission of our eVisa applications very straight forward. We feel the pricing was right for the service provided and accommodation etc included in the trip.
Our two guides Dedan and Daniel were wonderful people and exceptionally knowledgable about all of the wildlife we saw which meant we also got a great education as part of our holiday!! Fina is a brilliant organiser and host and it was great she came to meet us at the airport when we arrived in Nairobi.
Highlights of the trip have to be the balloon trip over the Masai Mara, the view from our room at the Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge and seeing so many Lion, Leopard and Cheetah!
If you're thinking of going on a safari, then choose Across the Wild Tours and Safaris - they are brilliant!

They should be called 'The Best by Far!'
I have just got back from an 8 day safari trip with 7 by far. I cannot fault the organisation by Sylvester, or the pleasure of Hussan's company as our driver. His driving skills were superb and the trip was really enjoyable.

A very nice experience in a beautiful animal park and an awesome camp
Very good organization
A Tortilis camp at the top
A somewhat inexperienced guide with whom the timing was not perfectly respected

Amazing experience with some great people!
From start to finish our experinece was completely out of this world. We was first picked up by Erick and then we was dropped to our airport for a nights rest.
We was then asked to be ready early morning when we would be picked up by our driver Frank.
Frank was amazing, he spoke very good english and had us very assured that we was in safe hands. We then visited Ngororgo, Lake Manyara and Tarangire over 3 days and this was exceptional experience, as we managed to see the Big 5 animals but this was due to our amazing tour guide Frank for spotting them from a distance and then waiting for them to come closer for a better view.
Msangai, completely blew all expectations out of the park! Can't thank these guys enough.
Thank you Zeeshan, Erick and Frank, you guys are all amazing. I will defo send my family your way for future bookings.

Enjoyed my trip with Gorilla Bookings
In a nutshell: In my experience, Gorilla Bookings is trustworthy and provides good values for money. I enjoyed my trip a lot!
Extended version: Went on a solo trip for 5 days to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest (gorilla tracking) and Lake Bunyonyi in September 2022. Sylvia and Justus of Gorilla Bookings always responded quickly and tailored the journey to my needs. Everything turned out as they said it would.
I have come to know Eli as a careful driver and great travel companion. He made me feel safe and comfortable. He also provided an internet hotspot whenever necessary.
I stayed two nights at Ruhija Gorilla Friends Resort and two nights at Bunyonyi View Resort. Both accomodations were rather basic and had wifi issues. If you are looking for a more luxury accomodation, it is probably a good idea to let Gorilla Bookings know in advance.
The gorillas roam freely, so the length of the gorilla hike can vary significantly. We walked for about an hour, then saw them up close - amazing!! The terrain can be steep, and I did not regret hiring a porter for the backpack.
At Bwindi, I took the opportunity to go on a community hike with a guide called Happy and a nature hike with a guide named Alan. Those additional activities were not included in Gorilla Booking‘s offer. I would recommend them, though. Each walk took about three hours.
Included in my trip was a two hour boat tour on Lake Bunyonyi. I wanted to extend that tour significantly, and Gorilla Bookings made it possible at an extra charge. The guide named Justus knew his way around the lake very well and provided tons of interesting information. He tailored the tour to my preferences, including visiting two islands, hiking to a viewpoint and some extended birdwatching.
Thanks a lot for the amazing trip! : )
